In Conversation with Mark Laret

In this UCSF Medicine Grand Rounds, we have special guest Mark Laret – president and CEO of UCSF Health. As CEO of UCSF Medical Center and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals, Laret heads one of the most distinguished medical institutions in the world, one that is consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top hospitals in the United States and as the best in Northern California. At UCSF, he has led initiatives to improve quality of care and patient safety and to modernize facilities and equipment. He led an effort to build a $1.5 billion UCSF hospital complex at the Mission Bay campus — including hospitals for children, women's services and cancer — and raised $600 million in private contributions for the new facility. In this hour, we’ll reflect on his illustrious career in health care management, how UCSF has grappled with the challenges of COVID, and his hopes for the future of UCSF after his retirement.
